| Sumario: | [EN] Epidemics have been a well-established topic in medical history for a long time. However, during the last decades, they have been especially used as a means for bringing to light existing conflicts and tensions within particular societies (socio-economic inequalities, political clashes, cultural differences) or between them (international tensions, colonialism). In this sense, our book chapter attempts to briefly analyze how the epidemiological course followed by "exotic" epidemics (cholera, yellow fever, bubonic plague) in Spain and its overseas possessions (we will focus exclusively on Cuba and Morocco) between 1833 and 1930 can be used to show the increasingly problematic "imperial dimension" of the main Spanish sanitary branch of that period: the quarantine administration (known as "sanidad marítima" or "sanidad exterior"). We therefore propose that the Spanish health administration displayed a specific imperial model in the 19th and early 20th centuries, different from but still comparable with those of other European empires. |
